Chapter 204 Jiang Xia is so terrifying 11
There were plenty of empty seats on the boat.
Jiang Xia sat by the window, and everyone else followed him.
Sitting next to them were two young women, one with long, smooth black hair and the other with short brown hair and glasses. They were talking in low voices.
As Hattori Heiji listened, his brows slightly frowned and he couldn't help but look at the person sitting next to him.
——It’s not that there was anything wrong with the content of their conversation, but he always felt that the voice of the short-haired woman was very familiar.
Hattori Heiji looked at the letter of commission in his hand, remembered the phone call he had made to the sender before, and suddenly had an association.
He tried to strike up a conversation: "Saori Kadowaki?"
The short-haired woman sitting next to them was startled, raised her head and looked at them warily.
Hattori Heiji was also stunned.
...I didn't expect it was really this client, what a coincidence.
Speaking of which, this seat seemed to be chosen by Jiang Xia.
This thought flashed through Hattori Heiji's mind, but he quickly put it out before he could come to any conclusion - Jiang Xia was indeed quick-witted and could solve cases quickly, but it was impossible for him to plan everything. He must have thought too much...
Hattori Heiji looked at the woman sitting next to him for a moment, suppressed all the thoughts in his mind, and decided to get down to business first.
He found the letter of commission and the money and walked over to return them to Saori Kadowaki.
After Hattori Heiji spoke just now, Kadowaki Saori recognized him - this was the Osaka detective she had asked for help before.
Saori Kadowaki remembered what Hattori Heiji said when he asked her to see a doctor. Her eyes twitched and she didn't want to pay any attention to this man.
But she was really afraid of being punished by the mermaid, and she discovered that there was another famous detective traveling with Hattori Heiji.
Saori Kadowaki had seen Jiang Xia on a detective show and had also seen many reports about him.
Because of this, she always has a feeling that "Jiangxia is very expensive."
Before, when she was anxious to ask a detective for help, Saori Kadowaki calculated her savings and chose a detective she felt she could afford.
She didn't know when the mermaid would bring disaster, and was worried that if she couldn't invite Jiang Xia, it would be too late to invite a second person, so she spent all her savings on Hattori Heiji.
Unexpectedly, this action attracted Jiang Xia.
Saori Kadowaki breathed a sigh of relief and felt that the god of luck was on her side.
Therefore, when Hattori Heiji asked her for details, Kadowaki Saori suppressed her anger towards the detective who asked her to "check her brain" and told her about the troubles she had encountered. The two tables naturally merged into one.
——On the Mermaid Island, there is a 130-year-old "Mingyang". It is said that she had eaten mermaid flesh and was given supernatural powers by the mermaids.
During the Mermaid Festival every year, three "Dugong Arrows" will be randomly given out. The Dugong Arrows are tied with her hair. Whoever possesses this magic arrow can achieve immortality.
But if the holder loses the arrow, or the arrow is damaged, the mermaid will bring disaster.
Last year, Kadowaki Saori drew the dugong's arrow, but a few days ago, she lost her arrow. She believed that she would be punished by the mermaid, so she panicked and looked for help everywhere.
When Saori Menbe mentioned mermaids, she trembled unconsciously. It was a kind of awe and fear that came from the bottom of her heart.
A group of high school students looked at her in confusion - how could she be so superstitious at such a young age?
The long-haired woman sitting next to Kadowaki Saori is her childhood friend, Shimabukuro Kimie.
Jiang Xia's gaze was mostly fixed on this person - the murderous aura that smelled like sweet and sour fish was emanating from her.
Kimie Shimabukuro is a shrine maiden at the Mermaid Island Shrine. She is also the great-granddaughter of the immortal "Mei-Yang". During the festival, she will help Mei-Yang to release the dugong arrows.
Shimabukuro Kimie also knew that Kadowaki Saori had overreacted. She cleared her throat awkwardly and explained in a low voice for her companion:
"Well, this is actually my fault. The dugong arrows don't have any curse or divine power. I was worried that the person who got the arrows would come back to settle accounts with us because of quality issues, so I made up the story that 'if you doubt the power of the dugong arrows, or lose them, the mermaid will bring disaster', but that's actually not the case..."
Saori Kadowaki interrupted her excitedly: "How could there be none?! Didn't you also see the burned mermaid bones in the warehouse three years ago!... That's the evidence of the existence of mermaids!"
Shimabukuro Kimie's face was slightly stiff.
After a moment, she shook her head helplessly: "You actually believed the media's exaggeration of the topic..."
Jiang Xia couldn't help but turn his head to look at her.
——As Kadowaki Saori mentioned what happened three years ago, the smell of sweet and sour fish on Shimashiro Kimie became stronger, and the range of the murderous aura suddenly expanded, almost wrapping him up completely.
Jiang Xia was surrounded by murderous aura and felt a little hungry, but it was a pity that he couldn't get rid of the murderous aura for the time being...
The ghosts floating next to Jiang Xia also began to secretly wipe the corners of their mouths.
Jiang Xia silently pulled one over and hugged it. The hungry man and the ghost comforted each other, but the effect was not very obvious.
Jiang Xia then took out another ghost mint wrapped in high-end murderous flavor from the cigarette box and put it in his mouth to suppress the taste of sweet and sour fish.
By the way, he also suppressed the desire to immediately catch Shimabukuro Kimie and beat her up, and to extract some murderous aura from her to satisfy his craving.
...It was a mistake. I shouldn't have sat so close to you.
I didn't expect her murderous aura to be so strong. Should I say she is indeed a magical witch...
When Toyama Kazuha, Mao Li Ran and Suzuki Sonoko saw Jiang Xia holding a cigarette, they turned towards this side at the same time. Even Conan looked over here, and the "Harms of Smoking for Teenagers" one, two, three, four, five, six points emerged in his mind.
But seeing that Jiang Xia was just biting it and didn't order anything, after hesitating for a moment, they still didn't say anything.
Maybe this is some unique way to relieve stress...
Jiang Xia's eyes were filled with the fragrant murderous aura and he didn't notice that his classmates were staring at his ghost mint with eager eyes.
While fighting the urge to kill, he sorted out the things that happened on Mermaid Island in his mind.
